I have used HP-Kermit extensively via a modem with packets up to 2400 bytes. Only one failure so far -- on an 11 MB tar-file it (or the network server) timed out after about 18 hours! No experience with kermit over telnet: I usually prefer the fasster ange-ftp (under emacs), or rcp, when possible. Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E.
